"Outing?"

In the wooden house, Dye Qi felt doubtful.

"Well, do you want to come. ”

Ailan, who was sitting opposite, said with a smile.

"What are you thinking..."

"I heard from Riel that he's on vacation, so I wanted to ask you out with me. ”

"It's suspicious..."

"It's that you're thinking too much. ”

Ailan suddenly came to the place where Dye Qi lived at night, and thought there was something big, but it turned out to be this. And Yan Qi can't come back in a short time because of something.

"It's not that it can't. ”

Dye Qi thought about it, his learning progress and swordsmanship cultivation have been steady recently, even if he takes a day off once in a while, Yan Qi should not say anything.

"Is it tomorrow?"

He asked Xiang Lan.

"Yes, we'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Alan replied with a smile.

After seeing Ailan away, Dye Qi lay down on his bed. He didn't have any concept of outings, and in the days before he was just working and practicing swords, and the occasional release seemed to him to be a rest.

"No matter, let's go to bed first. ”

Dye Qi felt that he didn't seem to have to think about it that much.

When I woke up, the sky had just turned white. Dye Qi deliberately got up early, although he didn't know what the outing was, but he was still looking forward to it.

By the time we arrived in town, everyone was still resting, and only a few farmers and craftsmen who had to get up early started their day's work.

Dye Qi greeted the people he met along the way. The morning air was exceptionally sweet, and he sincerely sighed at the beauty of the world.

When I came to the bakery of Ailan's house, I unsurprisingly saw a faint white smoke wafting from the chimney, mixed with the aroma of butter and wheat.

This is Dyeqi's favorite taste.

He pushed open the door and found two bamboo lunch boxes on the table, containing a variety of snacks and sandwiches. This is the first time Dye Qi has seen such a luxurious battle.

"So much..."

Dye Qi couldn't help but sigh.

"It's normal to go out on an outing. ”

Ailan walked out of the back kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron a few times.

Dye Qi looked at Ailan, this was the first time he had seen Ailan wearing an apron. She usually doesn't go into the back kitchen, but today she will take the initiative to help, which is really rare.

Looks like she's quite serious about it. Dye Qi thought.

was stared at by Dye Qi for a while before Ailan reacted. But this time, she didn't go up to dye Qi's face like before, but blushed inexplicably, and her movements were a little awkward.

"What are you looking at?"

She squeezed a word out of her teeth.

"Ah, I just feel like you're quite interested, this outing. ”

Seeing her awkward movements, Dye Qi felt awkward herself.

"Phew, I thought it was. ”

Ailan breathed a sigh of relief, and her face gradually changed back to her original appearance.

"What do you think it is?"

Dye Qi asked.

"Nothing!"

Ailan's newly white face suddenly turned red again, and she avoided Dye Qi's gaze and ran straight into the back kitchen. Upstairs from the back kitchen is the living room of the father and daughter.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Dye Qi muttered to himself.

He looked around, it was a small house made of red bricks, and the tables and chairs inside were also warm pale orange, which made people feel very warm.

Only then did Dye Qi realize that he had been here so many times, but he had never cared about the decoration of this store, as if all this was as it should be.

But now, he feels like "home" here.

The fireplace hadn't been lit yet, but seeing the smoky blackened walls, Dye knew that if it was lit, it would be a warmer place.

"I've been waiting. ”

At this time, Alan's voice brought him out of his thoughts. He looked at Ailan, who came out of the back kitchen, but couldn't help but be stunned.

Ellen wore a white floral dress with a white lining and a translucent tulle on the outside, adorned with flower-like textiles.

This is Ailan's eighth birthday present, which is all too clear. But this is the first time I've seen it worn. If it weren't for this dress, Dye Qi would have forgotten that Ailan was a girl.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing that Ran Qi was staring at his Ailan, he said angrily.

"What's the color... There's nothing to see either. ”

Dye Qi fought back.

Ailan's face turned red, but she didn't argue with him after puffing out her mouth, but went out alone with her basket.

Dye Qi also followed her in a knowing way.

When I arrived at Charles's house, it was completely dark. Riel had been waiting there for a long time, but after seeing Alan's dress, he exclaimed:

"You're a girl. ”

It's surprisingly consistent with Dye Qi's thoughts.

"Hey, two nerds. ”

As if out of interest, Alan just sighed.

"Let's get going. ”

Riel seems to see Alan's helplessness, so he immediately changes the subject. Ailan was also happy, but Dye Qi didn't react at all why he suddenly changed the topic.

The three of them set off on the road with all their preparations, but they didn't have any means of transportation, so the outing would not be too far from the village.

In the arid west, there are few places to have fun, but there is an oasis next to the village of Boshka that can be considered a gift from heaven.

The distance of the oasis is not too far, almost the same as the time it takes to walk from the village to Dyeqi's residence. When the three of them arrived at the oasis, it was almost noon.

The scorching sunlight became as psychedelic-like as a light under the shade of the trees, and the heat brought by the sun could not be felt at all under the shade of the large trees.

In the center of the oasis is a small lake, not as large as the Shire's man-made lake, but it has a lot of aura. Occasionally, wild animals can be seen drinking from the lake, but they run away in a hurry when they spot the group of Dyeqi.

"That's the one just now, it's a deer, right?"

"It seems to be..."

Dye Qi and Riel are still staring at the place where the animal disappeared.

Alan found a large, flat stone, laid a picnic cloth on it, and brought out the snacks and sandwiches she had brought.

"Let's come over and get a bite to eat. ”

Alan shouted to the two.

Only then did the two of them realize that they had not eaten since the morning, and they were indeed hungry now. The two of them ran to Alan's side, their eyes fixed on the food in the basket.

The sweets are mainly biscuits and small cakes, and it is said that they are made from leftovers that are usually used. Sandwiches are available in two types: egg yolk and vegetable fillings.

"There's no meat..."

Riel was the first to express his displeasure as a carnivore.

"It's so thick-skinned, you didn't give money. ”

Is it a business?

"Just have something to eat. ”

Dye Qi directly grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth, without the intention of being polite to Ailan at all.

"You guy..."

Ailan understands that she and these two people are so familiar that it is not too much to call them "family".

"It tastes good..."

At this time, Dye Qi said suddenly. He picked up a sandwich again, the same egg yolk filled as before.

"This sandwich is made very carefully. ”

Dye Qi commented.

"It's... Really?"

Ailan lowered her head, but her eyes were full of smiles.

For the three growing children, these coarse breads that were not nutritious and did not take up their stomachs were not a big deal, but they ate an entire basket of food in one lunch.

The few people in their most active years did not choose to sleep after eating, and Riel and Dye Qi decided to go swimming in the water, and they invited Alan to join them, but the latter was unwilling.

The two did not stop their activities because of Ailan's refusal. They took off their shirts next to Alan, causing Elan's to scream.

"What are you two doing?"

She covered her eyes, but peered through between her fingers.

"It's nothing, it's just taking off your clothes. ”

Riel doesn't seem to care.

Ailan also felt that her reaction was a little too aggressive, so she slowly lowered her hand. She saw two boys in boxer boxers standing in front of her.

"Ah, what should I say..."

Alan spoke.

"Rare, isn't it time for you to lose weight?"

She reached out and pinched Riel's already cumbersome little belly and said.

"Well, I'm exercising. ”

Riel took a step back and pinched his belly, wondering if he was really that fat.

Looking at Ran Qi again, because of his long-term sword practice, his figure is even, and the muscle lines in his abdomen are also faintly visible, but there are several trembling scars on his left hand.

Riel knew that it was left behind at the Sword Fighting Conference.

"Dye Qi, your figure is surprisingly good!"

Ailan jumped to Dye Qi's side and touched his lower abdomen.

"It's really muscle!"

"Could it be fake?"

Dye Qi expressed doubts.

"It's boring!"

Ailan withdrew her hand and stepped aside quietly, she didn't want to be dragged into the water by those two people.

But Dye Qi and Riel didn't plan to let Ailan stay for a long time, and as soon as they went down, the two of them directly picked up the water and splashed it in the direction of Ailan.

Ailan, who didn't react, was splashed squarely, and her wet hair hung down. The two saw an Ailan with a completely different temperament from usual.

"It's so cute!"

The two said in unison.

"You guys!"

Ailan lowered her head shyly, how many times she had been teased by these two people today.

"I think it's still nice with this hairstyle, you say. ”

Rare asked Dyeqi.

"Well, it's much more mature than the previous ones... I like that. ”

Dye Qi said.

"Hey, you like long hair!"

Riel grinned wickedly and approached Dye Qi.

"Speaking of which, Miss Yuro also has long hair, do you have any ideas!"

"Shut up, I don't have that kind of thought. ”

"Who's Yoro?"

At this time, a cool breath came from behind Dye Qi, and he looked back and saw Ailan with a sneering face.

"This... It's a long story...."
